Wow, that is such a gorgeous photo! The colours on the bird really stand out and are so bright, blue and pretty. You've even captured the water drops nicely. 

Great shot!

Thanks everyone, i was very lucky with the bird bathing like clockwork at the same time each day.

W/D the bath is a glazed terracotta dish used under large pots to collect water.

 the water is about 40mm deep. a lot of the small birds like even a shallower dish with less then 20mm of water.

 re freshed daily, sometimes twice daily. Lewins honeyeaters are big users of water

Thanks maxhr - thats another great photo. Looks like you get a lot of customers at the baths.
